Tinasha’s Mastery is Destiny 2’s first Stasis Rocket Sidearm and this god roll is busted
Destiny 2’s second Episode, Revenant, heralds the arrival of a fourth Sidearm belonging to the most powerful weapon archetype, and it’s possibly the best one yet.
Tinasha’s Mastery is obtained exclusively from Iron Banner, debuting with the PvP event’s return on November 26. That means Guardians have two weeks to farm out their desired roll of the Rocket Sidearm before Lord Saladin departs the Tower once more.
Why is this modest little pistol something you’ll want to invest time in farming? Perfectly complimenting Revenant’s focus on bringing up the power level of Destiny 2’s original Darkness subclass, Tinasha’s Mastery is the first Stasis-element Rocket-Assisted Frame to debut and will benefit from several seasonal artifact perks, including One With Frost and Brain Freeze.
Indebted Kindness, The Call, and Aberrant Action – Arc, Strand, and Solar respectively – have all proven to be build-defining rocket pistols for their respective subclasses and Prismatic. Here are all the possible perks Tinasha’s Mastery can drop with:
| Perk Column 1 | Perk Column 2 |
|---|---|
| Air Trigger Offhand Strike Deconstruct Enlightened Action Impulse Amplifier Loose Change Reverberation | Adagio Bait and Switch Chill Clip Desperate Measures Frenzy One for All Surrounded |
Tinasha’s Mastery god roll
Stasis Rocket Sidearm Tinasha’s Mastery will be available when Iron Banner returns in Revenant Act 2.- Barrel: Hard Launch
- Magazine: Extended Mag
- Perk 1: Reverberation or Loose Change
- Perk 2: Chill Clip
- Masterwork: Velocity
Meta analysis
A certain degree of personal preference will dictate particular pairings here, but generally speaking, the absolute best combination will be Chill Clip together with Reverberation or Loose Change.
Chill Clip, despite being nerfed in Season of the Witch, remains one of the strongest Stasis-exclusive perks, causing AoE explosions that inflict slow with the top half of the magazine.
As you’ll be reloading frequently to proc Chill Clip, you can choose to double dip on more potency with Reverberation’s increased explosion radius or boost your reload speed and other stats with Loose Change after inflicting an elemental debuff.
Other viable alternatives for the first perk slot include Impulse Amplifier and Air Trigger, both of which grant sizable reload speed buffs as well as velocity and deeper ammo reserves respectively. While not best-in-slot, both are serviceable if you find yourself unlucky with rolls from Saladin or post-match rewards.
As with all Iron Banner weapons, Tinasha’s Mastery won’t be craftable, so you’ll be at the mercy of RNG while hunting for either roll. For more information about the limited-time PvP activity’s return and rewards, check out our hub.
